This bill proposes to amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 by eliminating the existing dollar limitations on the exclusion of gain from the sale of a principal residence. It specifically modifies Section 121(b) to remove the monetary caps that currently restrict how much profit from a home sale can be excluded from taxable income. Under current law, homeowners can exclude a limited amount of gain from capital gains taxes when selling their primary residence. This legislation would remove these ceilings, allowing taxpayers to exclude the entire gain from such sales, provided other eligibility requirements are met. The provisions of this Act will take effect for all sales and exchanges occurring after its date of enactment.
